You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.

If everyone is helping you move, it might prevent those "awkward" moments since they have a job to do.

Yes, I am hoping for this.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Oh, just wear the same thing every day. I won't say anything.

You might if I start to smell.

Did you find a hidden studio blocked off during earlier cleaning?

No, but you wouldn't believe the amount of change I found. I've started a collection tin. It shall be mine and I shall call it George.

Hee. I just watched that episode tonight.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

AFAICT, the big difference between chai in America and chai in India is that in India they actually put tea in it.

I've had two types of chai. The first way was steeping a chai flavored tea bag in water, the second is a combination of milk and chai concentrate (Tazo or Oregon chai). I'm not sure which way I like it best but I'm leaning towards the concentrate.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Cooking question: I'm looking at a recipe (flourless chocolate cake) which calls for "1 1/2 scant cups almonds." What does that "scant" mean?

Our math genius doesn't know it yet, but she's been given a recipe with inexact measurements. Will her head explode? Let's watch t /announcer voice

Let's add the problem of trying to figure out how many grains a "pinch of salt" is.

And how do you deduce that, smarty-pants? Hmmm?

All is well that ends in pizza.

For the last few months, even more, there has been a commercial for a cheapass laser level that makes me grind my teeth every time it is on.

I don't mind it, for the most part, cheesy dialog pomising leveling it really can't deliver, because it's just a straight edge light. No problem, homeowners can learn to use a bubble level if they have to.

No, it's not your ordinary cheese that makes my teeth grind. it's the voiceover saying "It even goes around corners!" and showing it lighting around an outside corner.

I can't help the alarm bells that go off and make me wince and grumble "No it can't!"

Yes, if you point it from somewhere opposite the corner, it can illuminate a line across the two walls, joined at the corner, but it does not "go around" the frickin corner, dammit.
